Adam Lofts commented on COUCHDB-1630:
-------------------------------------

I'm on Ubuntu 12.10 R15B01. Still reproducing it with CouchDB 1.3.0a-7737b52-git. The script comes from narrowing down a test case in the a python CouchDB library I use which was causing the tests to hang.

When I run the script it does not finish. It does through maybe 2 iterations then just hangs. After the hang 

Some more info: 

After running the crash script:

$ curl localhost:5984/_all_dbs
{"error":"timeout","reason":"{gen_server,call,[couch_server,get_server]}"}

The corresponding erlang log:
